    oh well... whatever anyways... i don't think this woman is a lying misogynistic cross dressing slag so maybe she's not like other estate agents...

    Ouch....but true. :o

    Sorry Maz hun - my point (which got a bit lost among my ranting) was just not to take what she says at face value. Estate agents aren't all horrible people, but they DO know every psychological trick in the book to make you feel you MUST have that property at any price, and if you don't sign immediately, someone else is waiting in the wings to snatch it out from under your nose.

    It's pretty much a dead cert she will have noticed you are in a hurry to move, and nice as she seems, she wont be above playing on that.

    I was just advising a bit of caution when it comes to believing the things that come out of their mouths, that's all.

    Hey all, I can't keep up with the daily chats anymore, I sneak on at work, say hi, then by home time it's 100's of pages long!! :)

    I have been trying tho.....

    Just dropped DD off at her school leavers party at her nursery....awwww can't believe she starts school this year, gulp!!

    Maz - hope you get the house...although I can't get my head round why you have to move out, is it a council place you have? I thought as you have a child, you have more right to stay? Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn..x


    no, no tigz, you're right....

    i do have some kinda parental right to the home... but the lease is in his name only. I am noted as living there though... Housing officer offerred to assist in affirming my right to stay type thing but i am willing to walk away. He promised (the last time we had domestics) to walk away if things didn't work out but he is not willing to do that now for whatever reason, likely cause his head is up his arris...

    as i'm the one doing the breaking up i feel i should be the one to walk away TBH... but i do wish he would do the decent thing.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    sorry too, but just feels like i'm beating my head against a brick wall...

    i think i am going thru a small angry phase too...

    nervous about the conversation i need to have with erin tonight... and that i know the first thing that will come out of his mouth is "this isn't what i want Erin, it's your mum's idea" Even though really he and i should try to look like we're singing from the same sheet.....

    Maybe in some weird way he doesn't believe you'll actually walk out the door and so by not yielding the house he'll get you to stay without actually having to make an effort:confused:

    Ah I get ya, oh what a shame he won't do the decent thing, I'd like to have thought he'd want his daughter to remain settled etc but I guess like Luc says, this could be his way of trying to stop it.

    I hope for your daughter's sake he doesn't go down that route ie, saying it's not want he wants etc... (sorry don't know how to multiquote!!)

    I left an ex many years ago, was very tough, no kids thankfully but still emotionally draining, you have a good support network though around you which will help loads.

    Hugs to you xx
